Has anyone caught any snook aroud the Charleston area? My brother showed me a pic of one from Monday. He also caught one last fall. Can’t find any rules on them in the rules and reg. book.
One benefit of global warming. We will see big trout and warm water fish showing up here!

there aren’t any regs on them here. i catch young-of-the-year in the fall in cast net and while fishing with shrimp, never seen one over a foot in “natural” waters of the charleston area. impoundments, on the other hand…
how big was it?
18-20 inches. The one from last fall was 25 inches.

A good friend and I caught a juvenile in a cast net several years ago. We couldn’t understand how a fish that young could make it up here but there was no doubt about what it was. He posted our finding and it generated a thread that held the record for the most pages of trash talking garbage in C.F. history. I never scrolled down far enough to see if anyone believed the info or had caught one themselves. A couple of years later I caught one on shrimp in the North Edito in October. That fish was about 20 inches. I took a few pictures and slipped her back in. I never posted the pics because of the trash talking. I guess I haven’t learned. Let the bashing begin!

The cast net catch was more likely to be a sand trout because the juveniles look really similar and those are far more common here then snook though both are uncommon. As far as ponds go you can stock them with anything, and the conditions can differ enough to support species that could not survive in our natural waters, that will later then gain the ability to over years of climatization and local climate changes.

Like others have said, they are in ponds in the area. Havent come across them on any big water though. Would be nice if that happened. Awesome to fish for and even better eating.
got one last year about this same time in yellow house creek on a straight lined D.O.A. shrimp.took pic and released.
